Is There a Midwife in Your Family Tree?, Jane Rollins

Were one of your ancestors a midwife? If so, your relatives played important roles in American society throughout American history. Learn about required training, U.S. laws governing midwifery practice, and types of documents that provide information about midwives. Resources to be described include: court documents; city directories; newspaper advertisements, registries of licenses and articles; and more personal items: diaries, oral histories, and ephemera. Also documents available on Google Books and at university archives. These resources may contribute to anyone's family research.

Speaker: Jane Neff Rollins is the owner of Sherlock Combs Genealogy© and a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists. As a national and international speaker since 2012 on a variety of topics, her expertise includes Russian-to-English translations, medical professions, and both Russian and American genealogical research.
